Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel on eBay
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (UPI) -- The nine-story, 122,000-pound Ferris wheel at California's Santa Monica Pier is up for sale on eBay. The wheel, which has been towering over the ocean at Pacific Park for 12 years, was put up for auction on eBay this week, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles reported. A $1.5 million modern wheel is to take the place of the old "Pacific Wheel" next month. The old wheel, with its 20 gondolas and 5,392 light bulbs, is in great shape, amusement park spokesman Cameron Andrews said. The wheel will be auctioned on eBay for 10 days, at a minimum cost of $50,000. The Special Olympics will receive half of the final sale price. The top bidder will have to pay for shipping and handling and a $135,000 base to hold the wheel, KTLA-TV reported.
